Dwyane Wade Surprises Teen Battling Cancer With Care Package: Report

What to Know

  • In the package, Wade included a personalized message that read “My belief is stronger than your doubt."

Dwyane Wade is back at it again.

The basketball star’s latest act of kindness pulled at our heartstrings, after he sent a fan a care package filled with Wade swag.

Sixteen-year-old Chase McDaniel could not have gotten the package at a better time. The Georgia teen was recently diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma the morning of his senior prom, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

In a viral Twitter video, McDaniel’s football coach, Sean Calhoun, posted the student’s reaction.

“I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say,” McDaniel said in the video. “You’re the GOAT.”

In the package, Wade included a personalized message that read “My belief is stronger than your doubt,” which was handwritten on a new pair of sneakers. The package also included items from the NBA player’s clothing line.

McDaniel’s surprise was shared on Wade’s personal Twitter account with the caption, “I appreciate you #TeamWade”.

Both Miami and McDaniel appreciate him too.
